Hello! Moving into a 1913 Craftsman era rowhouse with one family bathroom that is TINY. My partner is more traditional/mid century modern and I'm more coastal/transitional. The thing we agree on is we need a functional bathroom with lots of storage for the two of us and when our three kids are visiting.
We are in our 50s and he has some balance issues which will progressively worsen so we have considered tearing out the tub to put in a walk in shower/stall shower with a built in bench. Our real estate agent is okay with that approach even with the possible resale complications.
Here are the big design questions…how far out do we bring the tile? Out of the shower half wall behind the sink and toilet? Traditional subway tile? Longer subway tile? Traditional pattern? What about the floor tile? If we do walk in do you do the same flooring all the way? or do a traditional 20s pattern flooring in the tiny floor space and a different in the shower?
We are having a drawer vanity built but need to decide on wood or color. Wall color? Fixture and lighting suggestions?
Again this bathroom is tiny! The width is only about 52 inches and length 89 :)
